It is a 1966 coupe and I am replacing the control arms and the guy at the parts store said I probably would not need a compressor to remove the springs???? Your help in this matter is appreciated Mike

To replace the lower arms you will not need a spring compressor. To replace the upper arms you will need a spring compressor

Ive used the external kind several times, im sure the internal kind would be safer though.
